I have a dual WAN router (Linksys RV042 – 4 LAN ports, 2 WAN)), which allows traffic prefernetial control by port attached
Home network with 6 PC’s, running mix of XP Pro and VIsta Premium
I want to demote newsgroup traffic which occurs on only one PC, so the newsgroup XP PC needs to have 2 NIC’s (at least that is approach I am taking)
One NIC will only be for the Internet, and will go to a specific port on the router – the other NIC will attach to a switch, which is needed to allow for this Newsgroup PC to link to others in home workgroup. So all PC’s in the workgroup are attached to the same switch. In turn the switch will be connected to a port on the RV042 which will have a higher priority – all other PC’s on the network are supposed to access the Internet through this higher priority port
The question I have is how to set up the two NIC’s in the Newsgroup PC, so that Internet traffic goes exclusively one way, and network/workgroup traffic goes exclusively thru the other NIC
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Jeff
